Class Foam::flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField Group grpInletBoundaryConditions Description This boundary condition provides a velocity boundary condition, derived from the flux (volumetric or mass-based), whose direction is assumed to be normal to the patch. For a mass-based flux: - the flow rate should be provided in kg/s - if \c rhoName is "none" the flow rate is in m3/s - otherwise \c rhoName should correspond to the name of the density field - if the density field cannot be found in the database, the user must specify the inlet density using the \c rhoInlet entry For a volumetric-based flux: - the flow rate is in m3/s \heading Patch usage \table Property | Description | Required | Default value massFlowRate | mass flow rate [kg/s] | no | volumetricFlowRate | volumetric flow rate [m3/s]| no | rhoInlet | inlet density | no | \endtable Example of the boundary condition specification for a volumetric flow rate: \verbatim myPatch { type flowRateTiltedInletVelocity; volumetricFlowRate 0.2; value uniform (0 0 0); // placeholder } \endverbatim Example of the boundary condition specification for a mass flow rate: \verbatim myPatch { type flowRateTiltedInletVelocity; massFlowRate 0.2; rho rho; rhoInlet 1.0; } \endverbatim The \c flowRate entry is a \c DataEntry type, meaning that it can be specified as constant, a polynomial fuction of time, and ... Note - \c rhoInlet is required for the case of a mass flow rate, where the density field is not available at start-up - the value is positive into the domain (as an inlet) - may not work correctly for transonic inlets - strange behaviour with potentialFoam since the U equation is not solved SeeAlso Foam::DataEntry Foam::fixedValueFvPatchField SourceFiles flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField.C \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #ifndef flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField_H #define flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField_H #include "fixedValueFvPatchFields.H" #include "DataEntry.H" // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // namespace Foam { /*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*\ Class flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField Declaration \*---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ class flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField : public fixedValueFvPatchVectorField { // Private data //- Inlet integral flow rate autoPtr > flowRate_; //- Is volumetric? bool volumetric_; //- Name of the density field used to normalize the mass flux word rhoName_; //- Rho initialisation value (for start; if value not supplied) scalar rhoInlet_; //- Rho initialisation value (for start; if value not supplied) scalar angle_; //- Rho initialisation value (for start; if value not supplied) vector axis_; public: //- Runtime type information TypeName("flowRateTiltedInletVelocity"); // Constructors //- Construct from patch and internal field flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const fvPatch&, const DimensionedField& ); //- Construct from patch, internal field and dictionary flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const fvPatch&, const DimensionedField&, const dictionary& ); //- Construct by mapping given // flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField // onto a new patch flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField&, const fvPatch&, const DimensionedField&, const fvPatchFieldMapper& ); //- Construct as copy flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField& ); //- Construct and return a clone virtual tmp clone() const { return tmp ( new flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField(*this) ); } //- Construct as copy setting internal field reference flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField ( const flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField&, const DimensionedField& ); //- Construct and return a clone setting internal field reference virtual tmp clone ( const DimensionedField& iF ) const { return tmp ( new flowRateTiltedInletVelocityFvPatchVectorField(*this, iF) ); } // Member functions //- Update the coefficients associated with the patch field virtual void updateCoeffs(); //- Write virtual void write(Ostream&) const; }; // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // } // End namespace Foam // * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * // #endif // ************************************************************************* //
